How To Choose A Mercedes Benz

So, you've decided that your automotive life is not complete without a Mercedes Benz? Whatever the logic that went into your choice, just deciding on a make of vehicle is barely half the battle. So, you've decided that your automotive life is not complete without a Mercedes Benz? Whatever the logic that went into your choice, just deciding on a make of vehicle is barely half the battle. Mercedes Benz has an especially astonishing array of sub-classes that make narrowing the choice almost dizzying. This article will outline a few things to keep in mind when test driving your new dream car. Whenever you decide to buy a new vehicle, the first thing you must do is determine its purpose. What are you going to use this vehicle for? Are you ferrying kids back and forth to soccer practice? Are you picking up fancy business clients at the airport? Or are you simply looking for something to joyride up and down the coast on the weekend? Whatever the reason, this use will significantly narrow the size of the vehicle and how much power you need under the hood.

Next, you want to take a look at your budget and determine how much you want to spend. For many families, if this is going to be a multi-use vehicle that is driven every day, it makes sense to splurge a little more up front in order to get good quality. Lastly, take a test drive. Price and purpose aside, there really isn't anything like comparing what a certain class of vehicle feels like behind the wheel and on the road. Choose a number of different types of vehicles within the sub-class you're interested in or even across classes and take them out for a spin. Something that you like from the exterior may not feel right on the inside and the converse is also very true. Often you may not like a particular external feature of a vehicle, but once you slip behind the wheel, the seat and console feel as if they were custom made just for you. It is important to take your family along for a ride too if they are going to be frequent passengers. Make sure everyone has room and room to grow. In this way, you should be able to narrow down your choice and find a Mercedes Benz that you and your family can enjoy for years to come.

Since its launch in 2008, the Insignia has largely dominated the mid-size sector and launched the eye-catching design philosophy that has permeated through all subsequent new Vauxhalls. The Insignia鈥檚 classic exterior lines remain for the new range, refreshed styling at the back and front of the car, but inside there are important changes to its instrument cluster and centre console design, as well as improvements to control-functionality. The Insignia鈥檚 range has been simplified, too. There are now eight trims (down from 14 in the outgoing line-up), ranging from Design to Elite, with a mixture of new models that will appeal to both retail and fleet buyers. And like all Vauxhalls, the new Insignia range will come with Lifetime Warranty, allowing first owners peace of mind for as long as they own the car, up to 100,000 miles. Vauxhall is raising its game in the highly competitive D-segment with the launch of the new Insignia. 167,000 Insignias have been sold since launch in the UK illustrating its popularity with both retail and fleet buyers, as well as its appeal to buyers who had only previously considered premium cars in the D-sector.

While the Insignia has increasingly found favour with retail buyers, much of its success has been in the fleet market with 80 per cent of Insignias going to business customers. Vauxhall鈥檚 combination of more efficient engines, premium design and state-of-the-art infotainment systems will certainly prove tempting to both company car drivers and fleet decision-makers alike. The new Insignia鈥檚 direct competitors include the VW Passat, Ford Mondeo, Toyota Avensis nd Peugeot 508. Other potential competitors include the Audi A4, BMW 3 series, and Mercedes C-class. The biggest change existing Insignia customers will see when they sit in the new car is a completely re-designed centre console and instrument cluster. The centre console has been simplified and now has fewer buttons for more intuitive operation of common functions, such as air conditioning and infotainment, while the instrument cluster has new dials and a fresh, high-tech look. Optional across the range is an 8-inch screen infotainment display (up from 5-inches in the outgoing range) and a new, upgraded instrument cluster with an 8-inch, high-resolution colour display.
